Born in Amsterdam, Ludwig played her club cricket for Groen Geel and Rood en Wit.[1] Her senior debut for the Netherlands came at the 1989 European Championship in Denmark.[2] On debut against England, she opened the batting with Edmee Janss, making two runs from 39 balls.[3] However, she was shifted lower down the order for the next match against Ireland, to number eight, and was at the crease when the winning runs were scored.[4] Ludwig's next ODI came at the 1991 European Championship, against Denmark.[2] She was selected in the Dutch squad for the 1993 World Cup in England, but played in only two of a possible seven matches, against New Zealand and England.[5] Ludwig finished her ODI career with only nine runs from five matches, a batting average of 2.25, although she scored at least one run in every innings she played.[1]
